Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $114,269 (middle half $86,859–$140,248). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (5)

The role title is 'Data Scientist/Data Engineer' — the day-to-day work described (trend identification, NLP, ML model evaluation, end-user enablement) leans more toward data science than data engineering, so 15-2051 was chosen; 15-1243 is the runner-up given the data engineering framing.

Python, Java, and Scala are presented as interchangeable options ('Proficiency in Python, Java, or Scala'); Python is listed as the primary with the others as alternatives.

The posting requires the ability to obtain a CI Poly in addition to an active TS/SCI clearance; the CI Poly is not yet required to be held, but the TS/SCI is a hard gate.

No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.

Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
